The City of Somerville tries to limit disruptive noise as much as possible for the health and happiness of our residents. Construction is generally allowed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays. Construction is only permitted outside of these hours in special cases, such as in an emergency. If you have a concern about a possible violation of the City’s Noise Control Ordinance, you can call 311 to make a report (617-666-3311 from outside of Somerville).
